    replaced the centerbearing, reverse light switch, and belts on the 84e. flipped tires on rims and rebalanced wheels for the 318is and washed it.

    tomorrow im looking at an e28 for my father thats an absolute steal!

        Dropped it off for an alignment. I am going to buy a toe gauge, so tired of dealing with places having a spaz over doing what I want them to do.

          Forgot there was a cooler full of ice in my trunk from Sunday, and drove to the place I go running and sloshed it around all over the place.

          My trunk isn't too wet, thankfully.

            finished claybaring on all the flat surfaces, hopefully to cut, buff and wax tomorrow.

              I got it inspected and registered in TX. Front plates, window stickers and "new resident tax" FTL. Talked with the inspector about his 1990 e30 he bought for his son's first car, though. He has already done the timing belt among other things.

                          I fell asleep in the school parking lot in it while attempting to finish homework, washed it, drove for 2 hours, and tested out my new magnaflow exhaust. Looked for the trunk tar, but couldn't find it. I guess I'm one of the ones without it...

                          Oh yea, thought about rebuilding the shifter-bushings are so sloppy I have to wiggle the lever to get it into first.

                            I delayed doing my carpet replacement AGAIN since there were supposed to be rain showers today, which, of course, didn't materialize until the sun was going down anyway.

                            So, instead, I updated my wiring diagrams for the adjustable dimming module I just picked up from George Graves.
